The announcements include the Intel® Atom™ x3 processor series,
Intel’s first integrated communications SoC solution for the
growing value and entry device markets, and the five-mode Intel®
XMM™ 7360 LTE Advanced solution, designed for performance and
worldwide coverage. In addition, Krzanich highlighted joint efforts
with Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Huawei to address the demand for
new telecommunications, cloud and data center services, improve
network efficiencies, and accelerate the industry’s move toward a
software-defined infrastructure.
Krzanich also reiterated that Samsung Galaxy S6* and S6 Edge*
users will have the latest anti-malware solution from McAfee
VirusScan Mobile™ technology built into and activated on their
devices.
“The evolution of the mobile landscape and growth of smart,
connected devices has led to increased demand for more connectivity
and real-time, protected data on those devices,” said Krzanich.
“All of these factors are driving a transformation of the network
to accelerate the delivery of new personal computing experiences,
services and capabilities in a safe and secure manner. Intel is one
of the only companies in the world that can provide solutions
end-to-end for the full spectrum of mobility.”
Mobile Communications Products
Intel introduced the Intel Atom x3 processor series (formerly
code-named “SoFIA”), Intel’s first integrated communications
platform for entry and value tablets, phablets and smartphones.
Combining 64-bit multi-core Intel Atom processors together with 3G
or 4G LTE connectivity, the integrated communications SoC combines
the applications processor, image sensor processor, graphics,
audio, connectivity and power management components in a single
system chipset. This integration allows device manufacturers to
deliver full-featured tablets, phablets and smartphones at
affordable price points for the rapidly growing entry and value
market segments.
Intel is bringing the benefits of integrated Intel architecture
and wireless communications to customers, including the China
technology ecosystem, with greater velocity. Twenty companies,
including ASUS* and Jolla*, have committed to delivering Intel Atom
x3 designs.
Rounding out its mobile portfolio that scales from the entry to
performance segments, Intel also introduced its first 14nm Intel®
Atom™ SoC, the Intel Atom x5 and x7 processor series (formally
code-named “Cherry Trail”) for next-generation tablets and
small-screen 2 in 1s. Offering 64-bit support for Windows* and
Android*, Intel Gen 8 graphics, and an option to pair with
next-generation LTE Advanced connectivity, the Intel Atom x5 and x7
processor series will power a range of mainstream to premium
devices. The processors are also “conflict-free1,” meaning that
these products do not contain minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten
and/or gold) that are inadvertently funding human rights violations
in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Customers, including Acer*, ASUS, Dell*, HP*, Lenovo* and
Toshiba*, have already committed to deliver devices on this
platform. The first devices are expected to be in the market in the
first half of this year.
Intel also announced its third-generation five-mode, LTE
Advanced Category 10 modem. The Intel XMM 7360 supports 3x carrier
aggregation and download speeds up to 450 Mbps. Its compact size
and power efficiency enable the Intel XMM 7360 to accommodate a
wide range of form factors, from smartphones and phablets to
tablets and PCs. It also expands Intel’s portfolio of LTE
solutions, giving device manufacturers a competitive option to
quickly design and launch LTE devices in various market segments
and geographies. At Mobile World Congress, the company also
demonstrated a pre-5G concept system that combines LTE with
802.11ad to deliver speeds of more than 1 Gbps using Intel
technology end-to-end.
Delivering New Experiences in Smarter, Safer Devices
With hardware and software products like Intel® RealSense™ depth
sensing technology, wireless charging and True Key™ technology by
Intel Security, among others, Intel continues to deliver new
experiences that provide more natural, intuitive and immersive ways
for people to interact with technology. Building on the success of
the world’s thinnest tablet, the Dell Venue* 8, Krzanich showed a
sneak peak of the Dell Venue* 10 tablet, featuring a detachable
keyboard and Intel RealSense snapshot technology. Targeting
consumer and business users, the tablet is expected to be available
soon.
In addition to working with Samsung to help protect Galaxy S6
and S6 Edge devices, Krzanich said Intel Security is also
collaborating with LG Electronics to help secure personal data. LG
Electronics will make McAfee Mobile Security from Intel Security
available on the LG Watch Urbane LTE*, delivering anti-theft
capabilities that allow the owner to lock, locate and wipe the
device, if needed. LG Android device users are already protected
today with McAfee Mobile Security on their devices.
Krzanich announced new customers including Brightstar Corp.,
Deutsche Telekom and Prestigio for the company’s True Key
technology, a cross-platform application to address the pain point
of passwords by using personal factors like facial identification
and fingerprints to make logging in easier and safer. Deutsche
Telekom will preinstall the True Key product for its customers in
Europe. Prestigio will be one of the first mobile device
manufacturers to launch the True Key application in Russia and
across Europe, making the application available across all of its
Android tablets and smartphones by the end of this year.
Network Transformation – New Services, Greater Connectivity
and Faster Data
Krzanich outlined how Intel is working with industry leaders to
transform network infrastructure with standardized hardware and
software, and helping to accelerate the industry’s move toward a
flexible, agile software-defined infrastructure. This enables both
telco and cloud service providers to improve network efficiencies
and accelerate the delivery of new services and capabilities for
consumers and businesses.
Alcatel-Lucent introduced its virtual radio access network
(vRAN) solution, comprised of a virtualized baseband unit that uses
general purpose servers with Intel® Xeon® processors to enable cost
savings and increased network performance. The vRAN will be in
customer trials this year and commercially available in 2016.
Ericsson announced a new generation of data center platforms for
the Ericsson Cloud System that enable telecom and cloud service
providers to lower their total cost of ownership (TCO) and realize
more flexibility and efficiency in their data centers. The company
is using Intel® Rack Scale Architecture, together with management
and orchestration software, to optimize and scale cloud resources
across private, public, enterprise and telco cloud domains,
enabling improved services agility. Ericsson also announced it is
working with Intel Security on mobile security for 4G networks.
Huawei and Intel are collaborating to deliver robust cloud
solutions that will enable telecommunications service providers to
transform their data centers. The companies will develop the next
generation of Huawei’s FusionSphere* based on Intel architecture,
and will use the Data Plane Development Kit and Open vSwitch to
increase network virtualization performance of FusionSphere. These
solutions aim to enhance performance that is optimized to minimize
TCO for cloud workloads in a scalable and secure manner.

1“Conflict free” and “conflict-free” means “DRC conflict free,”
which is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
rules to mean products that do not contain conflict minerals (tin,
tantalum, tungsten and/or gold) that directly or indirectly finance
or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(DRC) or adjoining countries. Intel also uses the term
“conflict-free” in a broader sense to refer to suppliers, supply
chains, smelters and refiners whose sources of conflict minerals do
not finance conflict in the DRC or adjoining countries. Intel
processors manufactured before Jan. 1, 2013 are not confirmed
conflict free. The conflict free designation refers only to product
manufactured after that date. For Intel Boxed Processors, the
conflict free designation refers to the processor only, not to any
additional included accessories, such as heatsinks/coolers.
